Hi,
I believe this is an issue with the "Sync mods with save" menu where it enables new mods and then immediately restarts regardless of download progress. Don't quote me though, I'm not entirely sure.
Problem
I click on "Single player" then "Load game" then find one of the saves below. I click on the "Sync mods with save" button. Both "Sync startup settings" and "Load save after sync" are enabled. Some mods are currently downloaded and enabled, some are downloaded but not enabled, and some are not downloaded at all. When confirm is pressed, the game will start to download the required mods but seemingly randomly restart itself. It then enables the mods that were not enabled, including ones that were successfully downloaded before restarting, and loads the save regardless of the mod inconsistencies.
krastorio 2 space exploration save
seablock save
pyanadons plus save
Expectationnn
New mods will download, then once all are downloaded the required mods will be enabled, the game restarted, and the save loaded.
Appendix
I looked and found a similar bug report here that appears to detail the same problem, although it is listed as resolved and not quite the same as mine as far as I can tell. Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for the report. The issue was related to one of the mods giving a 404 error when trying to download from the mod portal. It's now fixed for the next release.
